Harpreet Singh gave an awesome exhibition of raw firepower to blast into the final while Jitender Kumar had to be satisfied with a bronze medal in the boxing event at the 18th Commonwealth Games in Melbourne on Thursday.

Harpreet unleashed lethal blows to knock out Anderson Fitzgerald Emmanual of Barbados only 35 seconds into the opening round of the heavyweight semi-final at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.

The Indian breathed fire right from the word go and picked three points as his opponent found it impossible to stand up to the Indian's onslaughts.
